Short gravel bike tour through Lobau and beyond

We start our tour at the northern end of the Steinspornbrücke, an ideal starting point for exploring the Lobau.

Route and terrain:

The tour takes us through the beautiful nature of the Lobau, part of the Nationalparks Donau-Auen as well multiple farmfields in the south-western Marchfeld. The terrain consists of 90% gravel and crushed stone paths, which vary in thickness. It is therefore important that your bike is suitable for such conditions (e.g., gravel or mountain bike). The route is very flat.

Length and pace:

The total distance is approximately 35 km. We will ride at an average minimum speed of 21-23 km/h, which is a moderate pace for experienced cyclists. Please only participate if you feel fit enough to do so!

Sun exposure and breaks:

A major advantage of this tour is that 70% of it is in the shadow, which is particularly pleasant on warm days. About halfway through the route, we have the opportunity to refuel our water bottles at the Radlertreff Hermi.

Before the tour, check that your bike is in good working order (brakes, tires, gears).
